Pep, in his worst-ever season, lost lots of games, yes, and we knew the reasons, okay:
1) We had no Rodri, ruled out with an ACL
2) An ageing, less physical, less athletic midfield (Gündogan, Bernardo, Kovačić, an injury-prone KDB)
3) Injuries, with every player taking turns to be ruled out.
He didn't have what he wanted.
Maresca has sabotaged us three games in a row because of his choices and his poor grasp of simple things. He has everything at his disposal, everything he wanted to have a good season.
1) He has a DM we bought for £85m that he's not playing
2) He wanted Enzo F, and we bought him for £125m
3) He has full-backs, he has CBs, and only one player is out injured (Semenyo)
He has everything a coach could ever want. He's not making it work because he's not a good manager. He's proven that. Over to the board now.
You requested Enzo Fernández without properly understanding the player or what you already had in your squad.
You can clearly see that the Enzo and Anderson pivot isn’t working, yet you continue to field them every game.
Donnarumma has been worse than shite this season, but you have Rulli sitting on the bench.
Dias and Guehi have been awful, and you keep playing them. Now they’ve even corrupted Gvardiol.
You have a natural LB who’s been class this season, yet you keep benching him.
Khusanov isn’t a RB, but you insist on forcing him into that position.
Enzo Maresca, you have broken our hearts.
I am saying it again.
There is a certain midfielder who contributes NOTHING defensively, NOTHING offensively, and is just being a LIABILITY in that midfield. He is literally crashing the box from an 8 position.
We are literally playing with 10 men when he starts. I am tired!
1. Going into the game without your full-backs
2. Without a natural DM, because he's “too young”to play, despite costing you €100m
3. Shifting your best CB to RB
4. Accommodating Enzo Fernández, atrocious OOP, because he's your favourite player
5. Pairing two immobile/poor-in-the-duel CBs
Enzo Maresca. Keep sabotaging us. Go on.
All this hatred directed at MAN CITY from other clubs should be directed at ARSENAL MAN UTD LIVERPOOL there the 1s who are corrupt and trying to stop other teams from winning things not MAN CITY were trying to help you all out were like Jesus prepared to die on the cross
I want every single @ManCity fan to know I am here; more than ever. I am, always have been, always will, be behind my club, my owner, my chairman, Ferran, the players, staff, Enzo and you, our unique supporters.
Let me be clear: we will get through this together.
I love you all 🩵
So you're telling me that Rodri has won a Ballon d'Or, a treble after scoring the winner in the Champions League final, 4 Premier Leagues in a row, a Euros where he was Player of the Tournament, holds the record for the longest unbeaten run in club football history and now captains his country in the World Cup final.
Ridiculous footballer. He's an all-timer.
David Silva was more aesthetically pleasing…
De Bruyne put up significantly better numbers…
Rodri had the best individual season out of any of them…
But Bernardo Silva might be the most intelligent of the lot. That versatility, that grit…
He’s started every League game since mid-October and been absolutely essential to City’s title challenge.
Over 40 appearances for 9 consecutive seasons, 15 major honours…
WHAT A LEGEND!
